Txdl Weekly Pick'em - 2017 Playoff Edition - Round 2

[jason]

Ok - Overall we had a pretty good week - we did above average as a group. Games will only get harder from here out - I am trying to find games where the spread is a touchdown or less. There shouldn't be any Thursday games this week. If there are everyone will get a point for them)

Last week's most missed game was Decatur over Abilene Wylie.
1 person got that one right.

There was a three way tie for the most correctly picked game - everyone got these right:
Van over Princeton
China Spring over Taylor
Liberty Hill over Boerne

Freaking Pearsall got me. I tried to believe and it got me.

[jason]

coach - i responded to your message in last week's thread - it may get unstickied before you see it

Those teams down south are just too inconsistent to pick......you have to be watching/reading the weekly articles about them to understand who's really good and who isn't. I miss those picks all the time. It just kills me in the pick em contest. Jason just loves throwing in those Region 4 teams cuz he knows we can't pick em right. Give me Region 1 & 2 any day.....even 6-man, LOL. I mean......they are hard to pick even for the locals.

Thank you Jason - makes Reg IV not feel like the red headed step children :thumbsup:

[waterboy]

I took a lot more chances at the upsets this past week. It didn't work well for me at all. I won't be trying to make up ground any more. I'll just go with my gut from here on out....

[lostaussie]

20-0 this week baby. I shall not relinquish the lead!!! Gotta stay positive.

[regaleagle]

20-0 this week baby. I shall not relinquish the lead!!! Gotta stay positive.

In your dreams maybe......it ain't gonna happen with these games this week.

I think we should have a bonus game......everybody gets to select a winner of the game of his choice. Naturally, I'll take Argyle in my bonus selection game, LOL. But if you are wrong on your bonus game pick......you get docked 2 points. How's that sound to everybody???

[regaleagle]

BTW.......the rule should be that the bonus game selection cannot be part of that week's regular picks. OR.....Jason could establish a bonus game for you to pick, or you can choose your own game not on the list.
Or maybe we should make the bonus game worth more.......4 points to win or lose to give those wanting to make up ground on the leaders a chance. At least it gives them another way to make up some ground......or to lose even more, LOL. For the leaders, you may want to give 2 points for a correct pick, but subtract 3 points for an incorrect bonus pick. Just some suggestions to consider.

NOTE:

Washington State is @ Washington, not the other way around as it is listed in the games to pick. I just realized that error when I was going through them.

I apologize for any inconveniences.

I think the home field advantage makes a HUGE difference in this particular series.

[lostaussie]

My bad. I thought Kennedale and Van were on the list. Sorry

[jason]

Well, tough week overall - we had our worst week since week 2 of the regular season...

Last week's most missed game was Southlake Carroll over Desoto - 1 got that one right.
Only 2 got the Auburn and Stanford wins though (and 1 picker got both of them :D)

Last week's most correctly picked games were:
Austin Westlake over Smithson Valley and
Navarro over Rio Hondo
Everyone got those two right

TKM missed his second week and has been removed from standings (although he will remain in the regular season list so I don't screw up my spreadsheet). He will not have any more picks count this season.
